I'm looking for a William who got to Pope Co ILL and married Polly Towns there in 1833, shows up in the 1840 census and died probably before 1853 when his wife Polly and son William H. went to TX. We have the Texas descendants. George >> Hi George: I have a William in Hamilton County, IN that married Pearl May Ballard. She was born in 1901 so I don't think this would be your William. My Coopers are actually from Riley, in Vigo County, Indiana. Sorry I couldn't help you. Sherry
